Small, unimportant update.
Got the AJE K Member installed. Went in perfectly. No issues whatsoever. Now I just need to take the OEM A arms off and move all the suspension stuff over. But Im having issues getting the bolts loose that hold the A arms onto the stock K member...even with the impact gun and soaking in PB Blaster...so maybe that's a sign I should just buy tubular control arms

Got the K Member, manual rack and steering shaft installed. All went together pretty easily. Also mocked up my LT1 radiator and fans. Need to make some hold down brackets for them.
Also, split two sockets down the side trying to loosen the damn front control arm bolts so I can reuse the arms. Suckers must be fused to the old K member. I should probably just buy new stuff...but it is out of my budget

Update,
Picked up a 15 gallon RCI fuel cell. Brand new, sumped, 90 ohm sender, foamed, aluminum...for 85 bucks. STEAL!
Unfortunately progress will halt for a little while as I will be buying a house here soon!

Fuel Cell arrived!
Quick little test fit in the spare tire area. Seems as though it will fit just perfect in there with a proper bracing and a section cut out of the sump.

Having a flange made. I want to use 2.25" tubing for my hotside for slightly better spooling characteristics. And I figured 2.25" would be kinda tricky to make fit on a standard T4 flange. So I used some AutoCAD software at work to make a flange and am having a friend cut it out with a CNC Plasma table.
Here is flange:
